Mekong River Delta tours

This was my second tour of Thoi Son Island in the Mekong Delta, and once again, having a Japanese-speaking guide was incredibly helpful and informative for a Japanese person like me. Last time, I joined an English tour and was so focused on understanding the language that I couldn't fully enjoy myself. This tour's guidance is consistently provided in Japanese by a local guide. For the outbound journey, they pick you up at your hotel, but for the return, you can choose from several drop-off locations, including Ben Thanh Market. On Thoi Son Island, local workers may ask tourists for tips, but we were informed beforehand that we are not obligated to pay. There are so many unique experiences that you can't have in Japan, such as seeing beehives, interacting with pythons, and tasting fruits, royal jelly, and coconut water. I never get tired of it, no matter how many times I go. For lunch, we enjoy specialty dishes from My Tho City, and I believe they all suit the Japanese palate. Please note that while the food is included in the price, beverages are at your own expense. Beyond the numerous experiences unavailable in Japan, the Japanese-language guidance and the opportunity to travel with many other Japanese participants (which minimizes cultural gaps in group activities) are, I believe, the greatest hospitality for Japanese attendees. This tour does not involve the aggressive sales tactics often found with major travel agencies. While the Japanese-speaking tour costs more than the relatively popular English tours, I considered it a necessary investment for myself to enjoy Vietnam more fully.

I had such a great experience on the Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta tour! 🇻🇳 It was a long day, but definitely worth it. Visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels was fascinating and gave me a much better understanding of the history and how people lived during the war. The Mekong Delta was another highlight, seeing the local way of life, taking the boat rides, and trying some of the local products made the experience even more memorable. A special thank you to our tour guide, Michael, who was incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful throughout the entire trip. He explained everything clearly, made sure everyone was comfortable, and kept the atmosphere fun and enjoyable. Overall, it was a well-organised and memorable day. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially if you’re visiting Ho Chi Minh City and want to experience both the history and local culture of Vietnam. 🇻🇳✨

Xin chào! This was our first time joining a tour outside District 1 in Ho Chi Minh City, and it was such a fun and memorable experience! We’ll definitely be recommending this tour to our friends. The itinerary was spot-on, and our host Timon was super fun and entertaining. We also learned so much from him throughout the tour. The service van was comfortable as well, and we really feel like we made the right choice by booking this tour. Overall, we had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend it! Cảm ơn bạn vì chuyến đi tuyệt vời này nhé!♥️

The experience was very much worth it, very good value for money! Madaming libreng pagkain sa tour, marami rin kaming pinuntahan na lugar. Masarap yung lunch at sulit ang bayad. Highly recommend our tour guide, Dragon King! Very interactive and funny 💯

very interesting trip. The highlight is hgfxamazing snake spirit that brings miracles from just one shot. The tour was well-organised, bang on time and highly informative. Mr Trew was most amicable and gave lots of explanations throughout. He knew how todeal with coconuts and hold up snakes in the wine. The two boat journeys were amazing. please be sure to tip the bosun. The bosun works very hard going up and down the narrow mangrove channel. The journey via the narrow boat is quite long. The bosun deserves a tip. Mr Hui drove well. The Aircon was great. Lunch was ample. The rendition by the folk musicians was highly authentic and the tea and fruits they served were highly refreshing. The candy is delicious. This tunnel visit / Mekong shopping day trip will not disappoint.

We had a wonderful 6D5N trip with SST Travel! From the very beginning, the consultation was clear, honest, and focused on exactly what we needed. Everything was delivered exactly as promised, with no hidden surprises. The itinerary was well organized, and the entire team was incredibly supportive, responsive, and caring throughout our journey. Thank you, SST Travel, for making our Vietnam trip smooth, enjoyable, and truly worth every penny. Highly recommended, and we will definitely travel with you again!👏❤️

r tour is week paced and well thought for everyone. They don't rush, Travis (our tour guide) always smiling and very helpful. I am traveling with my dad 86 years old and 12 years old - he make comfortable for both. Always waited for my dad to climb up and down the steps, boats. Lunch can be improved to accommodate different taste but no complaints. We bought honey and other things - no pressure into it. Over all - Well worth it. Would do it again when I visit HCMC ever again. Million Thanks to Travis and SST travels

The Mekong River and canal tour is super relaxing, and the scenery is beautiful for taking photos. I loved the experience of enjoying nature, seeing the snake, fish, and crocodiles, watching how products are made from coconuts, and even the rum was super nice! Just remember to bring what's recommended for the excursion (especially for the sun and to be comfortable on the boats). One lady wore slippery flip-flops and almost fell getting into the boat. It's a great excursion to disconnect and enjoy the day without rushing!

I feel that tour guide Ben’s enthusiasm, along with his deep affection and experience of Saigon, added real depth and lasting memories to an already wonderful and beautiful trip. It felt like chatting with a Vietnamese friend full of local wisdom, and I learned so much. I highly recommend this tour. My mother and I are vegetarians, and we were looked after very well. I also strongly recommend trying the local farm products here. They are the purest expression of the area and really show its special charm. If Ben ever leads other tours, I would definitely want to join them too!
